Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
For the filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream
For decoration
  • 1 red and blue star sprinkles
  • 1 crushed Oreos
  • 1 whipped cream for piping

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 springform pan

Method
 

Make the Oreo crust
  1. Mix finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then refrigerate.
Make the cheesecake filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth with no lumps. Scrape down as needed so the mixture is uniform.
  2. Whip heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl to stiff peaks. Fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture in two additions.
  3. Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Tap the pan lightly to release any trapped air.
Chill and decorate
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.
  2. Before serving, pipe whipped cream around the edge in a starburst pattern. Scatter red and blue star sprinkles across the center and dust with crushed Oreos in a fireworks burst pattern.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill the cheesecake overnight and use a warm knife for each cut, wiping between slices. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended due to the whipped texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping, but note the set and texture may be slightly softer.
